time is a concept, sometime around add leaving i guess???

[purevanillacookie]

Hello my friends, I am simply writing to note that with our Doctor missing, I will be taking over running the Clinic until such a time as he returns. Though I am unfamiliar with his instrumentation, I am a magic based healer and should be able to tend to your needs. Please do not hesitate to visit or contact me should you need anything.

...

Our doctor...missing?

[purevanillacookie]

[ Ah he recognizes that handwriting, it's good to see Phantom is speaking again. ]

Hello, my friend. Yes, it seems Doctor Add has left us. I am unsure how long it has been, but the clinic was empty upon my checking.

[bloodyopus]

[ Although he'd never gone anywhere - not that he could do that, considering the fog wall and its technicalities - it...feels as if he had gone away indeed, and for quite a while, at that.

...Honestly, he feels a bit guilty, too, for being on completely avoidant mode. But he needed to do that sometimes, in order to keep his mental state from collapsing. Plus, he'd missed Miss Christine — more than he thought. ]

...Anyone else aside from him? I was...no, I needed time to myself. I apologise for my silence, my dear friend. [ It feels good to talk to Pure Vanilla again, too. Especially in light of this news about Add. ]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Tap tap tap. Small dots appear on the paper, as Pure Vanilla taps his pen. ]

Clotted Cream Cookie had disappeared shortly before, but has since returned to us. Though I fear the Forest has taken it's toll. I am confident our good Doctor will return as well.

Oh! My friend, do not apologize! I saw you about and was content to leave you be, but if you need to speak, you know I am here to listen.

[bloodyopus]

...Oh. That's...the new cookie in town, isn't he? I saw him around. Well, if he'd returned, then...yes, perhaps it shall be the same for our doctor. Who knows.

[ He sighs, zoning off for a moment. Phantom can't say that he's particularly close to Add, but...it still brought a certain pang to his heart to hear that he'd gone missing. Not to mention that since Add's a doctor, now he felt as if he'd been abandoned by The Doctor. Again. Somehow. Kind of? It's a reach, but god knows how goth cat's mind actually works. ]

...Thank you. I remember. I...I hope you do not mind that I'd hang around — I wanted to ensure your safety, even if we did not speak.

...That aside, I've had...some experience being a doctor's assistant, although I fear it concerns paperwork more than any medic-related thing...I am no medic, after all. And I loathed to corrupt the clinic with the shadow of my presence — with my stink of death and the pollution of murder.

But if you'd accept me, I'd lend you my assistance in maintaining the clinic. I could do the cleaning, too.

[unheiring]

Your willingness to step up is appreciated. I would offer my own hand, if my ability to heal did not extend solely to myself.

There truly has been no word of the doctor?

[purevanillacookie]

If you have any knowledge of medical equipment, I would appreciate any help, my friend.

None, I'm afraid. While his items have been left behind, there is no sign of him at all.

[unheiring]

Unless you are staring down a pile of crystals, I doubt I would be of much service.

This is... unfortunate. What of the others? Those close to him?

[purevanillacookie]

Ah, no. Beakers, flasks. I am aware of what they are, but my herbal knowledge extends to pestles and mortars. If this were crystals, it would be much easier.

I unfortunately did not know the Doctor well enough to know who was close to him.

[unheiring]

Ah. Unfortunately alchemy was never my forte, so my answer remains the same.

He seemed to hang around the angelic one and the jellyfish. Ah, Mizuki and Elsword?

[amethystic]

my only healing magic is to quite literally kiss it better which. i would prefer to not do unless necessary because again i am being very literal. but the herbal remedies and balms and stuff in there that are marked with a pink flower? i made those. let me know if more is needed.

[purevanillacookie]

Yes... I completely agree.

[ That... goodness. ]

Thank you, my dear, I appreciate knowing this! May I ask you to come in at some point and label what they do for me?

[amethystic]

it was inherited from my dad. apparently he developed it *for* me and my brother

he didn't think it through i think.

i'll do that after i eat though

[purevanillacookie]

No. I don't think he did at all.

[ VIBRATES.

BUT HE IS PLEASED SHE'S EATING. ]

Please, take your time! There is no rush!

[cryopathy]

If it isn't a cure, what does your magic healing entail? Treatment of symptoms?

[purevanillacookie]

Usually severe physical wounds that may end a life if not swiftly healed. Rejuvenating the body's energy so that it may heal on it's own. Diseases and the like require more subtle touches, and that is usually where our herbal remedies come in.

However, I have been researching ways to extend my healing to diseases or chronic conditions. It is merely a matter of learning the right techniques.

[cryopathy]

Makes sense! You can heal otherwise fatal wounds that quickly? Quite impressive!

I do hope you have more luck with the chronic conditions than our healers back home did.

[purevanillacookie]

Indeed! But as you have deduced already, it has little practical use outside of immediate need, or to bolster ones energy.

Your healers had no luck?

[mermaidcursed]

add is with mom. not that he's dead! he's studying the garden and trying to draw her conciousess out of the mist and flowers.

[purevanillacookie]

Oh! That is well to hear, thank you, my dear! I hope he succeeds, I would much like to speak with your Mother. Until he returns, I shall keep his clinic well cared for.

[mermaidcursed]

it was my fault for not saying anything sooner
but this may also help the resurrection process? it was so slow before because mom has to pull so much work to keep the garden safe AND regrow bodies and soul pieces.

[purevanillacookie]

Nene, my sweetheart, it is not your fault at all. You have many things on your mind, do not worry.

Will Add be safe in the Garden? I remember you telling us we could not linger long, due to what would happen.

[ Or is Nene more literal in that Add has Joined Graced. ]

MR. ANCIENT?????????????????????????????

[he has been losing his mind all day]

[mermaidcursed]

Chung was also here but he was lured into the Lake. I don't think he's dead though, but he's very lost.




I probably should have mentioned that a long time ago.

[eidxiety]

MR. GUARDIAN TOO????

WHO ELSE IS HERE????
